H.R. 6198:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 6198 would freeze all naturalization of Legal Permanent Residents until the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) is completed. It would also revoke naturalization from aliens that DHS has good cause to believe shouldn't have been eligible.

H.R. 6252:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 6252, the Ending Sanctuary Cities Act, would restrict sanctuary cities, including those that don't honor detainers, from ANY Federal financial assistance. It would also give local officers Federal authority to honor detainers and make it unlawful to discharge or discriminate against an officer for honoring a detainer.

H.R. 6175:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 6175 would make aliens identified on the terror screening database inadmissible and place non-LPR aliens in expedited removal proceedings if on the terror watch list. The bill allows the removal/inadmissibility to be waived with unanimous concurrence of the Secretary of DHS, Attorney General, FBI Director, Director of National Intelligence, and Secretary of State. The bill would also remove asylum, withholding/cancellation of removal, voluntary departure, adjustment of status, and torture protection from terror watch list aliens and make them ineligible for any relief.

H.R. 5816:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 5816 would suspend refugee resettlement for aliens from Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen (terror-sponsoring nations) until Congress passes a joint resolution. The legislation also calls for reports on national security threats and benefit costs to refugees.

H.R. 5853:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 5853, the Empowering Local Law Enforcement Act, would make 287(g) agreements mandatory, require the Secretary of DHS to provide removal and detainer details to the NCIC and LESC systems, and authorize state and local officers to issue Federal detainers, transfer aliens to Federal custody, and requires prioritization for removal.

H.R. 5881:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 5881, the Unaccompanied Alien Children Placement Transparency Act, would require Health and Human Services to notify states of placement of Unaccompanied Aliens Children (UACs), covering medical records, immigration status of the custodian, physical address, Federal benefits that the child will receive, and Federal benefits that a custodian will receive as a direct result of the child's placement with them.

H.R. 5646:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 5646, Sarah's Law, would require the detention of illegal aliens who have been charged with a crime resulting in the death or serious bodily injury of another person. The legislation would also call for DHS to notify the victim or victim's family of relevant immigration/criminal history of the accused.

H.R. 5619:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 5619, Sarah's Law, would require the detention of illegal aliens who have been charged with a crime resulting in the death or serious bodily injury of another person. The legislation would also call for DHS to notify the victim or victim's family of relevant immigration/criminal history of the accused.

H.R. 5224:

NumbersUSA's Position:

H.R. 5224, the Criminal Alien Deportation Enforcement Act, would prohibit the issuance of visas to countries that refuse to repatriate deported aliens. Approximately 384,000 foreign nationals enter the country each year, across multiple visa categories, from recalcitrant countries.

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
